If you don't like it you can always change. I also find Fermi's Thermodynamics a very nice introductory but clear book for a first course. | |

I was wondering if the concept taught in the book are still considered valid or if some of them are considered deprecated in favor of more recent models and formalisms. That is not an opinion to me, be based on the current state of the theory. Anyway, since none of the linked questions cite Fermi I suppose it is not the best choice for me. | |

Personal opinion: yes, it's a collection of lectures from the 1950, still relevant for the fundamental principles. | |
